[first of all this panel is cute, wtf. and second of all it is a show of love, and she's laughing a little as he makes the bweehhh sound.
she's never had... well, much of a family at all, but especially not siblings. ace did this to her a few times, and she's copying him - her this is my bratty brother emotion coming through strong.]
Defeated! [she says smugly from where she's like, flopped on the deck i guess]
[ Hanako mumbles something muffled before he's able to get himself free, rubbing at his cheek a little. He always used to be the cheek puller, not the pulled, it was his big brother privilege. ]
This time, but I'll get you back!
[ lays down on his back, arms spreadeagled. like this, the sky and ocean blend together almost seamlessly. ]
... Tama was teaching me how to swim. Did you ever end up learning?
Was she? [she asks idly, with a little hum.] I can swim, yeah. Better when I'm not here, but I got Ace out of the lake fine before, so I can do it here too.
[ The only time he actually saw Nimona in the water was at the execution where she went in after Saya, and both of them had to be fished out afterwards. ]
You already know how to swim? Then why am I learning??
[ the going. the journey. all the sights and people along the way.
he looks a little wistful, in that stubbornly despondent way of his when he thinks about his lack of a future, about the fact that he's already at the end of his journey and all that's left to do now is to say goodbye. ]

I am a master of espionage I will not be bribed by you saying my name in a sad dejected way!

[ his soft stretchy mochi cheeks!!
... he looks a little bit happy despite that, though. he knows better than anybody that this is just how you show your love ]

no subject
... Yeah? You thought I couldn't? [a beat.] Were you learning how to swim because you thought I couldn't?
no subject
Am I the only one left who doesn't know how to swim?!
no subject
... Maybe? That depends on your definition of swimming! Are you saying you still can't?
no subject
Shut up! I know the theory behind it! Like starfishing and stuff!
no subject
No. [she will not shut up] That's a good start. At least you don't sink to the bottom.
no subject
Floating and kicking, that's basically the same as swimming.
no subject
As long as you don't drown it's fine? [a beat.] You can still be a pirate and not be able to swim great, you know.
[not that he said he wants to be a pirate, but whatever]
no subject
I know... I can handle a blade! And I bet I could learn astronavigation, easy.
[ he can be the navigator all the way up on the crow's nest, as far away from the water as possible ]
no subject
You totally could. You'd be better at it than me. [she peeks at him.] You know, I could really use a navigator for my crew that I'm putting together.
no subject
What were you going to do without a navigator? Set sail and just hope for the best?
no subject
[ace compared her to luffy sometimes in his meta and he's not entirely wrong]
Gotta start somewhere.
no subject
[ he can't imagine drifting at sea for month or even years at a time. he's always been rooted to one spot; in a way, it feels safe. ]
no subject
... I don't know. Anywhere but where I was. [...] It's a cliché but I'm more about the going. The journey.

no subject
she's quiet for a bit, and then:]
You know I'm always gonna ask you to come with me. [she knows he won't, he already told her, but.] Over and over.
no subject
[ and he rolls over and gives her a hug for saying that, because he loves that she would, just as much as he regrets not being able to. ]
